The thing that strikes me about this is how it's being reported on TV news. They seem to be entirely focusing on who paid for what and when. Whilst that may be interesting, they don't seem to bat an eyelid at the fact that they spent £58K on "redecorating". FFS, you could build a whole new hoose from scratch for that amount of money. That is double the average annual salary in Scotland.

Wow, I didn't realise that. So that's over three times the average income in Scotland for the "redecoration" of a flat. Put it another way, half the working population in Scotland earn less than a third of what they spent on some redecorating. Aye, right enough, "we are all in this together". 

I've just read that they have a £30 K annual allowance for redecorating. Holy fuk!!!!!!!!!

'For those too weary to have bothered, a summary of Cummings interview.

“Boris is a cretin; I’m a genius. I put him in power then immediately tried to remove him. I hate his wife. Everyone except me’s a moron. People are mad to think the Brexit I pushed is a good idea.”

The end'.

I do love how its Tories who are outraged with what he has to say. The same Tories who were happy to jump into bed with him over his Brexit views. The same Tories that rounded the wagons and stoically defended him when he broke COVID rules and drove 300 miles to visit a castle at the height of the pandemic. That just says that they are just as bad as him. 

On top of that what's this nonsense of pressure being put on Coco the Clown to apologise for his proven remarks about 80-year-olds dying during the pandemic? Apologise? Is that it? Jeez he is in the highest seat of power and yet an apology will suffice?
